MCHB and JSI Report: Review of Care Coordination Activities of DSCSHN State Implementation Grantees

Several of the health insurance and financing implementation grantees funded by the Division of Services for Children with Special Healthcare Needs (DSCSHN) of the Maternal Child Health Bureau (MCHB), had expressed an interest in examining care coordination models. An initial recommendation to review care coordination activities among these grantees sparked an interest to expand this review to all state implementation grantees. While a previous study had focused on the role of Title V in care coordination, there had never been a review of the role of state implementation grantees in this critical aspect of developing a system of care for CYSHCN.

As part of their current contract with DSCSHN, John Snow, Inc. (JSI) was asked to develop a survey to capture the range of activities among the state implementation grantees. This report addresses all 6 of the Healthy People 2010 outcomes, through a survey of all MCHB State Implementation grantees. The survey focused on the care coordination activities of the grantees, such as methods of care coordination program development and implementation, methods of financing, and effectiveness of care coordination.

The full report is available online.
